Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks... 2. Select (single click) a bookmark (not a folder) from the right pane 3. Hit the "rename" (|<) key Actual Results: The bookmark opened in a Firefox window Expected Results: The bookmark name or URL should become editable "in place"

Rename key ? That the first time I see it being called like that. On my original iBook it's the return (or enter, I can never remember the difference). It also generates the same keycode (13). So you want to rename the bookmark when return/enter is pressed, not open it ?

Well, I have a TiBook and this key has code 3 whereas the return key has code 13. This key can be used anywhere in MacOS apps to rename element, thought I am not sure that it is called "rename key". As I stated it, the symbol on it is a |< rotated 90 degrees right. To answer your question, I do not want return to rename the bookmark (this would be obviously unnatural), but that this precise key, usually used to rename elements, actually allows to rename an element in Firefox. For instancce, Safari bookmarks have the expected behaviour I describe (hitting the |< key makes the bookmark editable).

(In reply to comment #2) > For instancce, Safari bookmarks have the expected behaviour I describe (hitting > the |< key makes the > bookmark editable). So does the return-key (tested in Finder and Safari). I think you're assuming that this is a special key, but it just executes the default action, when triggered by return or enter.

See bug 194923 (especially bug 194923 comment #7) which basically asks for the same thing (in a platform-independent way). Duplicate?

I don't think this is a duplicate of bug 194923 because it's for the contextual menu. This bug is for renaming it by selecting it and pressing a key. So what you're asking for is basically the same thing Safari's bookmark manager has? Just select a bookmark, press return and rename it. Also you could click on it and then click on it again and you can rename it. Same thing with the Finder. Changing Severity to enhancement.

You almost got it : I would like to be able to rename a bookmark in the bookmark list by presssing a key which is NOT THE RETURN KEY, but a SPECIFIC KEY which seems to have disappeared from newer Mac keyboards. This key has a rotated |< symbol on it, and has KEYCODE 3. This key can be used in almost any MacOS app (including Safari) to rename elements.

Unless you get more specific and tell us what other keys it is near on the keyboard or attach a picture, no one will understand this request. The |< key sounds like a backspace/delete or tab.

The |< key > sounds like a backspace/delete or tab. It's just a return or enter key, located right of the spacebar. On my iBook, it works exactly as the return key. Applications just treat it as another return key, although it was supposed to have a different behaviour (like ending a paragraph). But I have never seen 1 application that uses it different form the normal return key. The reporter is assuming it's a special 'rename' key, while it's just execting the default action, just like pressing the real return does. Safari starts renaming an bookmark entry if you press return (or this 'rename' key). Firefox doesn't, becuase the default action is to open the bookmark. That's all. Not worth fixing, unless someone thinks that renaming a bookmark is a better default action than opening one.
